Kyoto Full day Tour Kinkakuji, Kiyomizu-dera and Fushimi Inari

Begin your tour by meeting your guide at the selected meeting point Osaka(8:40am) or Kyoto(9:50am). Then depart for your first stop, Kinkakuji temple, also known as the Golden Pavilion. This world-famous temple is renowned for its main hall covered in gold leaf. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, Kinkaku-ji presents a stunning view, particularly during the autumn season when the golden temple contrasts with the vibrant red leaves. Learn about the temple's past as a villa of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and according to his will, how it became a Zen temple of the Rinzai sect after his death.

Head to Kiyomizu-dera in the eastern part of Kyoto. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kiyomizu-dera boasts over 1,200 years of history. Besides exploring the temple itself, you can stroll along the charming Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka streets, discover the tranquil Ishibei-koji alley, or experience the traditional Gion and Hanami-koji streets. If you wish to rent a kimono (own expense), this area is perfect for that, allowing you to immerse yourself in the historical setting and create beautiful memories.

In the afternoon, we will visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, located in southern Kyoto. Known for its thousands of red torii gates, Fushimi Inari is one of Kyoto's most popular attractions and has been recognized as a top destination by global travel websites. Here, you can pray for family happiness and personal safety, and even enjoy decorating unique fox-shaped ema (wooden plaques) for a fun twist.
